• More Data-Driven Processing at Retrieval Reduces Age-Related Memory Deficits

The environmental support hypothesis postulates that it may be possible to reduce older adults' deficits in episodic memory by providing environmental support at the encoding and/or retrieval phases. To examine the validity of this hypothesis, we varied the amount of retrieval support by manipulating data-driven processes. Young and older adults performed a word-stem cued recall task under a low data-driven condition (LDDC) in which the retrieval cue comprised 3 letters, and a higher data-driven condition (HDDC) in which the cue comprised 4 letters. Older adults benefitted more than younger adults from the additional support. Older adults exhibited a large deficit relative to younger adults in the LDDC condition but no age differences were found in the HDDC condition. These findings dem...

• The Optic Tectum of Birds: Mapping Our Way to Understanding Visual Processing

Over the past few decades there has been a massive amount of research on the geniculo-striate visual system in primates. However, studies of the avian visual system have provided a rich source of data contributing to our understanding of visual processing. In this paper we review the connectivity and function of the optic tectum (homolog of the superior colliculus) in birds. We highlight the retinotopic projections that the optic tectum has with the isthmal nuclei, and the functional topographic projections that the optic tectum has with the nucleus rotundus and entopallium (homologs of the pulvinar and extrastriate cortex, respectively) where retinotopy has been sacrificed. This work has been critical in our understanding of basic visual processes including attention, parallel processi...

• Information Technology Projects by International Logistics Services Providers: The Case of Canada's Small Customs Brokers

Cette étude examine les motifs et les effets des investissements réalisés dans la technologie de l'information et de la communication (ICT) par de petits agents en douane canadiens. Comme d'autres fournisseurs d'abonnement de maintenance des opérations de chaîne d'approvisionnements, ces agents étaient invités à identifier les récompenses considérables liées au déploiement efficace de l'ICT. À partir de données qualitatives portant sur huit agents, l'étude s'attelle à déterminer dans quelle mesure l'espérance des récompenses motive les investissements. S'inspirant de la théorie institutionnelle pour compléter l'analyse, l'étude constate que les motifs dépassent la croyance en l'utilité intrinsèque des projets ICT. Cette conclusion et l'impact des projets sur les agents, s'inscrit dans l...

• Father, Daughter Counsel Crime Victims

I spent a career chasing bad guys, and it always occurred to me in that career that we didn't spend enough time focused on victims of crime," said Bell, who retired from the service in 2003 and now does law-enforcement training. "So I just felt that when given the opportunity I would contribute when I could, and I found that opportunity in retirement. The job involves "just helping someone even with a little bit of information, like even just a court date, or explaining a certain aspect of the system to somebody," said [Jen Bell], who manages a Running Room store, teaches running classes and has a part-time job doing data processing. "Although to you and me that might seem small, to somebody who has been victimized or is confused it's a big huge help in their whole process of dealing ...
